Importance Of Chandra Darshan Day
Chandra Darshan Story
Chandra Darshan is the ceremony of ‘Sighting the Moon ’ after Amavasya or the no moon day. The day holds enormous religious and spiritual importance. Devotees celebrate this day to honor Chandradev or the Moon God with great fervour and devotion. In Hinduism, Chandra is considered to be the most important and revered deity. Hindu lunar calendar is traditionally followed and so people believe the Moon to be more important than the Sun. The Moon is a favorable star associated with purity, wisdom and good intentions.
Chandra Day Significance
Moon symbolizes good health, wealth and virtues. It is a significant ‘Graha’ of the Navagrahas, which influences life on Earth. Furthermore, Moon is even more influential as per Holy scriptures as it follows the Lunar calendar. Chandradev is said to be the nurturer of animal and plant life on Earth. It is believed that the Moon was married to the 27 Nakshatras, who were the daughters of King Prajapati Daksha and also the father of planet Mercury or Budh. People believe a well placed Moon in a Janam Kundli helps the native with a prosperous and wholesome life. Therefore, on the Chandra Darshan day devotees worship the Moon to seek his divine blessings for success and good fortune.
